Using I Lab via ChemSketch 

Only one demo key is issued per account per year.  Typically the demo keys are given to 

newly opened accounts.  The demo keys must be requested.  They are not applied automatically. 

Demo keys only have to be applied once!  They do not have to be entered every time to gain 

demo access.  Once it has been successfully applied to the account, the user just has to login 

normally. 

If there are problems applying a demo key to an I Lab account, the I Lab Administrator can 

manually set up the demo period for the account.  To contact the I Lab Administrator, send an e 

mail to ilab@acdlabs.com.
